Over the past few months I've made a lot of changes, and I've been telling you all that I would be making more changes soon. Well the day has finally arrived and I'm so happy that I can finally tell you all about it.
Basically I'm replacing my Weight Loss Monday's series, I'm still going to be updating you about that, but it will only be once a month from now on.
I'm also adding a new series on Sunday's, and it's called Weekly Inspiration. Basically it's going to be an inspiring picture/quote, with a passage and a goal for the week/year (however long you need to achieve it).
Okay so now for what's replacing WLM's, this is how it's going to be...
1st Monday of the Month......... My Monthly Goals
2nd Monday of the Month ....... A Monthly Music Playlist
3rd Monday of the Month........ Monthly Pinterest Roundup
4th Monday of the Month........ Monthly Weight Loss
I also have something planned for months with 5 Monday's
5th Monday of the Month... Things I'm Loving
Also if you're interested yesterday I did a guest blog post over on A Topsy Turvy Blog so go check that out and let me know what you think. I just wanna say thank you to Casey for letting me post on her blog, I really enjoyed working with her.
Well that is all for today, let me know what you think below, I'm super excited for this new path I'm paving, and I can't wait to get started. So don't forget to come back on Sunday for the first Weekly Inspiration, and on Monday for My February Goals.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 50
Okay, so today is the last day of WLM's, and I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad. I'm still going to be doing a weight loss series just not every week, I don't really wanna get in to it today so just check back next Monday for the big announcement/ changes.
Diet: My diet has been okay, not the best, but I decided Yesterday that I'm going to get back on track. I started using the MyFitnessPal app on my phone again, and it usually keeps me on track.
Exercise: I still haven't been able to get back to exercising as much as I had been. But I did make it to the chiropractor on Thursday, and I'm going again later today, so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon. Yesterday I was able to get back on the stationary bike for 20 minutes, it hurt, but not as much as I thought it would.
So did I lose any weight?
Weight Lost This Week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 18 Pounds
Yes!!! I know it's only one pound, but to me every pound counts. Next Monday I go back to get blood work done for the first time since I lost about 10 pounds, so I'm really hoping it shows. Overall I'm feeling okay, but I think I may be anemic, I can usually tell when I'm anemic, and I'm starting to show the signs.
That's all for today, tomorrow I'm going to be posting about some of my Recent Gifts and Purchases, then on Wednesday I'll have my first book review since November, and of course on Friday I'll have my 5 Words.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 48 & 49
Happy Monday!!! I hope you all had a great weekend, and that you're ready for this week.
Diet: My diet has been pretty good the past few weeks, I've been watching what I eat, but I also haven't been denying myself what I want. For the past week I haven't really been able to eat much cause I've been sick, so it's kinda hard to eat.
Exercise: I haven't done much on my stationary bike, but I have been doing some walking. I haven't really been doing much though because my back has been hurting, I'm hoping I can make it to the chiropractor this week, I haven't been in about a year and a half so I'm WAY over due for an adjustment.
So did I lose any weight?
Weight Lost This Week: 0 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 17 Pounds
I wasn't really surprised that I hadn't lost any weight, like I said I haven't really been able to do much the past week. But that's okay, I'll get back on track as soon as I get better.
Life Update:
So my life has been going pretty good, the new year is off to a great start. I finished my English class Part 1 with an 87 and English Part 2 with an 88. I took my last test in my Reading and Literature class last night and finished with a 94
That's all for today, tomorrow's gonna be any easy day, I'm just posting one of my Polyvore creations, and then on Wednesday I'll have a nail polish review up.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 46 & 47
Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of the year? And that means today is the last Weight Loss Monday's post of the year. Wow, it's really hard to believe that.
Last week I chose not to make a WLM's post because I didn't think anyone would read it with all of the Holiday celebrations going on last week. Another reason for that is because I'm kinda getting tired of doing this every week since I don't necessarily have something to tell you every single week.
My schedule is really full next month, I think I only like writing one post and then I'll have the entire month filled up, so because of that I don't have room to make any changes quite just yet. But there are changes coming in February, I will announce these changes the last week of January, and I'm really excited to tell all of you about it.
But since I can't tell you anymore right now let's get started with this week's weight update.
Diet: I had three Christmas dinners last week, we went to my Nana's house last Sunday, my Aunt Jane's house on Christmas Eve, and then my mom cooked on Christmas Day. I did eat a little bit more than normal, but I made sure I didn't overeat or get too full. Last week I was craving chocolate really bad, so I made Oreo truffles, and they were amazing, I still have a few left too.
Exercise: I did get a little bit of exercise last week, but not enough. I've been sick, and I haven't been getting but about 2 hours of sleep at night so I haven't had the energy to do any exercise.
So did I lose any weight?
Weight Lost this week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 17 Pounds
I lost one pound, I was not expecting it at all. To be honest I actually wrote this post on Saturday, and the scale wasn't showing any difference but when I weighed myself Yesterday I had lost a pound, so I had to rewrite some of this post.
Even if I hadn't lost any weight last week i'd still be happy, I'm leaving the year a very happy girl. I finished my English course last week and I got my grades back, on one of my research papers I got a 90%, and then on my English Midterm I got a 100%, so I'm super happy about that.
That's all for today, tomorrow I'll be posting my Top 4 posts of the year, Wednesday will be my New Years Resolutions, and Thursday will be the Shows I'm Looking Forward to Watching this Winter. So as you can see this week is a full week, and I will be posting everyday, I think that's a great way to start off the new year, and I hope you enjoy it.

Weight Loss Monday's Week 45
Happy Monday! I ope your week is off to a great start, and hopefully you get to take a little bit of time to relax this week.
I'm hoping that if my mom can find the time hopefully today I can go take my test to get my drivers permit, I've been trying to get her to take me since my birthday in March, but she's been too busy with work, so I MADE her give me the $20 on Friday and I TOLD her we WERE going this week to do it. I'm just hoping she actually listened to me.
So for now here's what happened last week.....
Diet: My diet has been pretty good this week, I've stayed under my calorie goal (1200 calories) everyday.
Exercise: I've really slacked off on my exercise this week, I'm disappointed, but I'm definitely getting back on track this week.
For the biggest part the main reason I didn't really exercise last week is because I was sick all week, my stomach was really upset from the weekend before when we were stuck in the hotel, with very little food option.
Another reason is because I was really stressed this week, and I needed a break. I kinda had a little breakdown, Thursday I had a severe Anxiety/Panic attack, and so I've been trying to slow down since then, and just relax. It really scared me,because it had been a while since my last Anxiety/Panic attack and I wasn't prepared for it at all.
So did I lose any weight?
Weight Lost this Week: 2 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 16 pounds
I was shocked when I stepped on the scale and saw that I had lost two pounds, it really suprised me, and I wasn't expecting it.
That's all for today, I'll be posting one of my Polyvore creations tomorrow and again on Wednesday, so don't forget to check back for that.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 44
Happy Monday!!! I hope you all had a great weekend, mine was very interesting, and I was surrounded by a bunch of lunatics, but we had fun.
Diet: For most of the week everything was pretty good, but the weekend was awful. We had an ice storm over the weekend, and so we've been staying at the hotel my mom works at all weekend, I think we're going home today, but it really just depends on how icy the roads are because another round of ice came through yesterday.
So because we're in a hotel we've pretty much been eating junk. We had Friday Denny's, Domino's on Saturday, and we had Little Caesars Pizza Yesterday. In between has been hot chocolate, and for breakfast one waffle and some little sliced up sausages.
Exercise: Well I've kinda made up for my awful diet through working with my mom. I worked the floor Friday for three hours, two hours Saturday, and I worked in laundry for about 30 minutes Yesterday. On top of that Friday night I worked in the gym here in the hotel, and I also worked earlier in the week on the stationary bike.
Weight Lost this Week: ???
Total Weight Loss: 16 Pounds
Because we're in a hotel I don't know if I've lost weight or not. The last time I weighted myself last week I hadn't lost any weight, I was the same as the week before.
So that's all for today, I hope you come back for tomorrows post.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 42 & 43
I'm back!!!!! And I'm super happy about it, I got a new laptop, temporarily till January, then I'm going to order a Mac.
The past two weeks have been insane, but a good insane.
Diet: My diet has been pretty good. Last week I could hardly eat because I had an allergic reaction to a new Chapstick I bought and so my lips were swollen and covered in bumps, it's still hard to eat, but my mouth has almost healed.
Exercise: In the past two weeks I have really stepped up the exercise. I've been getting on my stationary bike everyday, in the past two weeks I've only missed 4 days of exercising, but those days I made up for it in walking.
I've also come to the conclusion that I am allergic to long-haired dogs. I've never had a problem with short-haired dogs, but we tried to take in a dachshund/poodle mix last week, and it ended with me being sick, and having to take the dog back to my aunt.
So Any results?
Weight Lost Last Week: 2 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 16 Pounds
Yes, I've lost 2 pounds, and it's really motivated me to keep going, and stay on track.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 41
Last week was rough, I don't even know how to explain it, it feels like everything that could go wrong went wrong. I'm really hoping this week improves, and that I can get back on track, because I accomplished absolutely nothing last week.
Diet: I'd say I did pretty well on my diet last week, I had my first soda in two weeks, and I did have Long John Silvers one night. But other than that I ate pretty normal.
Exercise: I actually did really good at exercising last week. I was able to find room for my stationary bike, and I got it out Friday, and did that for 40 minutes. Then, Saturday I was regretting it, but I did do 10 minutes, and I also worked out Yesterday. On top of that I started trying to up my squats and weights, but my ass really hurts from Friday, so I'm gonna have to take it slow till my body gets used to exercising again.
So Any results?
Weight Lost Last Week: 0 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 14 Pounds
No, no results this week, but I'm okay with that cause I know I worked hard, and I did my best.
There was one good thing that came out of last week, I sent in my first paper for my new class, and I got it back on Friday, I totally thought I had failed it, but got a 87 on it, so that kinda made up for having a crappy week.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 40
Last week was really good, I don't have much to say today, but let's get started.
This is going to be a short and sweet post because I have to go get blood work done this morning, and I don't have much time to waste.
So let's get down to today's business..
Diet: My diet was actually pretty normal last week, I didn't have any weird cravings, and I didn't lose control.
Exercise: I did more exercise last week than normal, I think it's because I was trying to makeup for losing control the week before. But regardless of why, the point is I did do more exercise than normal.
Any results?

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 39
Last week was a mixture of good and bad. When it comes to losing weight, it was bad, but everything else in my life went good.
I took two more English exams, and got an 85 on both. This week I have two papers and my midterm to do, so wish me good luck.
I also got to do a little shopping over the weekend, and I really enjoyed getting to spend money on myself, and buy stuff I actually wanted. I was going to take a picture of a few of the things I got, but I forgot, so I might include that in Friday's 5 Words post.
Now let's get down to today's business....
Diet: Last week I didn't so so well on my diet. It's not that I ate a lot, or got out of control, it was mainly the fact that I ate more sweets last week, than I have over the past few weeks.
Exercise: I hadn't really been doing well with exercising, but over the weekend, I started on my squats challenge again, so we'll see how that goes this week.
Any results?
Weight Lost Last Week: 0 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 14 Pounds
After my chocolate, cookies, and candy corn filled weekend, I was expecting this. I'm not happy about it, but at least I didn't gain any weight.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 38
I would say last week was a pretty successful week, and I hope that continues into this week.
Last week I took my first English exam since I started back into my classes, and I made a 90. Today I'll be taking my second English exam, and I also have to write a political speech, that everyone seems to hate, so this week should definitely be fun.
I did very well with my diet last week, usually I'll have a soda once or twice a week, but I didn't have any last week. I did however have a cup of hot chocolate a few times last week. I hardly had any chocolate, I've kinda just lost interest in it, and I did pretty well with everything else.
I didn't really improve in the exercise area, but I think I definitely did more than I did the week before. The reason behind this is that I've just been spending so much time studying, and doing my school work, that I'm having a hard time finding time to exercise.
Any results?
Weight Lost Last Week: 2 Pounds

I was so happy when I saw the scale, and I just really hope it stays off, and that I can keeping losing weight like this.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 37
Last week was actually a pretty good week, the weather is beautiful, and I feel like I really accomplished a lot.
For my diet, I did really well, I didn't eat much, because I have a sore throat, and I've also been sick to my stomach a lot this past week.
Last week I actually did more exercise than I had in the past few weeks, so I feel like that really helped.
Weight Lost Last Week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 12 Pounds
I wasn't really sure if I had lost weight, I felt like I had but I wasn't sure. I'm starting to be able to see results, around my shoulders, and collar bone. One pound may not seem like much, but I feel like it's a start, and I'm just happy I'm actually losing weight, and that I'm no longer at a standstill.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.

I wasn't really sure if I had lost weight, I felt like I had but I wasn't sure. I'm starting to be able to see results, around my shoulders, and collar bone. One pound may not seem like much, but I feel like it's a start, and I'm just happy I'm actually losing weight, and that I'm no longer at a standstill.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.
XOXO,

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 36
I really have no idea where to start off this blog today, my head is killing me, and honestly I just wanna get this over with, so I can go back to bed......
For my diet I did really good, I haven't been snacking, and if I do it's not much. I haven't really been eating much, but I think that do do with being sick,
I so did not do good with exercising last week, I'm so mad at myself for that. But that's okay cause I've had a migraine for 3 days, and it still hasn't eased.
Weight Lost Last Week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 11 Pounds
I was totally expecting to see my weight go up, but it went down, I'm so excited and happy. I wish I could go on but my migraine is getting worse.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Mondays: Week 35
So before I get started with this post I want to make an announcement. If you follow me on Twitter then you know that last week, I was finally able to figure out how to add a Pin It button to my photos. I'm so proud of myself, I never thought I was going to figure it out, but I did.
Now that I got that out of the way here's this week weight Loss Mondays.
For my diet there's been days where I've pigged out and gave into my cravings, and then there's been days where I've hardly ate anything. I think the reason I haven't been eating is because I'm sick, and my throat hurts.
Last week, it did not go good on the exercise front at all. All week I didn't really feel good, and then my blood pressure was on the low side, which was adding to me feeling pretty crappy.
Weight Lost Last Week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 10 Pounds
Okay I gotta admit, I seriously thought when I hopped on the scale that it was gonna show that I had gained weight, but it didn't
As of right now I've only lost one pound, but I actually think it may be more because I'm bloated and on my period. So according to the scale I've only lost one pound from my pre-period weight, but according to the scale at the doctors office, I've lost 4 pounds.
I guess I'll know for sure later this week, when I no longer feel like I'm getting stabbed with a knife in the stomach.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 35
I can't believe it's the last day of September, this year is going by too fast. Last week was boring, I don't feel like I accomplished much, but somehow I actually did.
For my diet, I haven't really been eating much, I've only had about 5 pieces of Dove chocolate, and I've been trying to cut out bread.
For my exercise, unfortunately I haven't been able to get my stationary bike out yet, but I'm going to try this week. I did a little bit of strength training this week, along with a few other little exercises.
Did it pay off? Yes, I lost 1 pound last week.
Weight Lost Last Week: 3 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 9 Pounds
I was actually really surprised when I seen the scale because it hadn't shown any movement all week, then all of a sudden I had lost a pound.
This week is going to be exciting, I have a lot coming up, and I can't wait to share it with you.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 34
I cannot believe it's the last Monday of September, I just keep thinking how is this possible. The year is almost over, and it feels like its just begun.
The past week has been just a little bit insane, it was full of ups and downs. But I'm hanging in there, and I've actually got a lot done over the past week.
Last week I didn't eat much, just the thought of food makes me sick, and I don't know why. It's so weird, but I've been making sure I eat something, even if it's only a few bites of chicken and potatoes (last night).
While my diet has been going really well, my exercising has not. I told myself that this week I'm going to get back on the bike, and get my butt to work.
So what's the verdict.....
Weight Lost Last Week: 2 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 8 Pounds
I was in shock when I stepped on the scale and seen that I had lost 2 pounds. I was so happy to see the numbers going down again after being at a plateau.
Overall I'm just really excited about everything, my weight is dropping, and I'm doing some really amazing things on the blog.
Speaking about the blog, over the weekend I was able to write at least 10 post, and I already have them scheduled, and ready to go. So for the next few weeks, I've got it scheduled so that instead of 3 posts a week, it's going to be 4 posts a week, starting this week.
So that is all for today, I shall be posting again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, so be sure to check back for that. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 32
I am so happy to be able to get back to my normal schedule, I was so mad when I wasn't able to post last week. Our internet was out from last Sunday till Friday morning when they finally sent someone to come fix it.
The week before last was amazing, perfect even, I got back to school, and did good on my first quiz. But more importantly I got back to exercising, I got back on my stationary bike 4 time that week, I was also doing squats, and jumping jacks.
Last week wasn't so good, I couldn't do any schoolwork and my week was completely screwed up. I did however spend the week cleaning, and doing housework. I went through my closet, and dresser, and found clothes that I forgot I had. Saturday I spend 5 hours doing laundry, and I still wasn't tired.
So basically this month has been off to a wonderful start, I'm really excited to see what this week as in store, I'm going to get back to doing my schoolwork and hopefully I don't fail my Algebra classes.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if I've lost or gained any weight because I forgot to weight myself. I'm pretty sure I haven't because it's that time of month, and I haven't exactly been eating healthy.
So that's all for today, check back on Wednesday. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 29
Last week was not a good week, and this week isn't off to a good start either. I'm bloated, I feel fat, and I have terrible cramps.
But this is what I deserve after a two month break from reality. The good news is my blood work came back and everything was good and my insulin level was half of what it was two months ago, so that's great.
And of course because my insulin level is starting to go back to normal so are my periods, which means I get to be bloated, and stay in bed for a week with cramps. Yay! NOT!!!
I've never really discussed this, but one of the reasons why I have trouble losing weight is because I have PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovary Syndrome). PCOS is what caused me to develop insulin resistance, and it makes it really hard for women to lose weight.
Even though I don't like being on Metformin, it does keep my insulin level low, and in return helps my body work properly. So I have to suck it up and get over it, until I can lose at least 50-70 pounds I'm gonna have to stay on this medicine.
Because my insulin level was so high in June and July i didn't really have a period, but now that it's lower I'm going through HELL this month. In a way I'm glad because it means I no longer have to be as worried, even though I may hate my period, I'm grateful because I know I'm on the track to getting healthier.
So because I'm bloated I haven't lost any weight, but thankfully I also haven't gained any either.
Last week I didn't do so well with my diet, I ate a lot of chocolate, and I also ate a lot of bread. But I'm hoping to break that habit this week, and get beck to restricting my sugar intake, and bread.
Even though I didn't do so well with my diet last week, I did do well with my exercise routine. I worked more with the squats, and with my hand weights. I'm going to try to get back on the bike this week, and I'm going to try a few new exercises to see if I can find anything new I like.
Weight Lost Last Week: 0 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 9 Pounds
So that's all for today, I'm not really sure what I'm going to be posting on this week, I'm hoping I'll be able to get a fourth post in, but I don't think I will because I don't have anything prepared. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Week 27
This weeks post is going to be another quickie because I don't have much to tell.
My diet was perfect last week, hardly any chocolate. All I had was 2 Hershey Almond Chocolate bars, so I'm very proud of myself for being able to make it through the entire week. I haven't really been eating much, nothing tastes good, most of the time I can't even finish what I put on my plate.
This week I need to improve on my exercise, last week I didn't do as well as I had been, so I'm going to have to get myself motivated again.
Weight Lost Last Week: 1 Pound
Total Weight Loss: 9 Pounds
So I know this post is short and sweet, but that's all for today. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.

Weight Loss Monday's: Weeks 26
Last week was actually really boring, there's really nothing to tell, so Today's post will be short.
Last week was really good, overall I didn't really eat much. I normally will crave something, but last week I found it hard to find something that tasted good. Some mornings I was hardly able to finish my breakfast because it just tasted bland, nothing has a taste, and I'm not sure why.
For exercise I wasn't able to make it to the gym, so it will be Friday before I have any money to get signed up. But I did stay on my routine of squats, and hand weights for most of the week.
Like I said this post is going to be really short, I had a boring week, that consisted of me having a headache everyday of the week.
So did I lose and weight.... YES!!!
Weight Lost This Week: 2 Pounds
Total Weight Loss: 8 Pounds
So I know this post is short and sweet, but that's all for today. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.
